I did something like that once as well, but I did it by opening a
bi-directional pipe with cygwin's ssh.exe (I found that I didn't have to
install cygwin on my server, I could just drop ssh.exe and a few of it's
required dll's into a folder) and I used a key to handle authentication
(sounds a little more secure than telnet, but maybe not if you are on a
private network or something).
